"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Considering the circumstances in which the term was originally coined, i don't think so.

Considering the circumstances in which the term was originally coined

The Original lolcow is Chris Chan, who was baited dozens of times by trolls into doing ridiculous things on camera at 4chan in the /cow/ board.
Thus, the term lolcow.

Which means that people who find baiting "lolcows" funny are 4chan types by default. Therefore, unless the context tells me otherwise, just uttering the term is a ginormous red flag for me.

That also casts a doubt in your claim of the term coinage.

Which means that people who find baiting "lolcows" funny are 4chan types by default.

How? What is your line of reasoning here?

Therefore, unless the context tells me otherwise

Now you suddenly care not only about the origin of the term, but about context also?
